Medieval & Renaissance Interiors in Illuminated Manuscripts by Eva Oledzka Pdf
Illuminated manuscripts are an excellent source of information about the interiors inhabited by people in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Artists regularly depicted the castles and palaces of the ruling classes, as well as the houses of ordinary people--merchants, craftsmen and peasants. This attractive new book is the first to study the subject in such depth, and it uncovers a wealth of little-known illuminations that help us to learn more about life at home, in workshops and elsewhere. The author presents manuscript miniatures as illustrations to an account of house interiors which includes their architectural features (such as windows, doors or fireplaces), furniture and other household objects. She concentrates on the social, cultural and stylistic aspects of Gothic domestic settings and presents them in the context of their Romanesque antecedents and Renaissance successors.

On a stormy night in 1421, the North Sea delivers a devastating blow to Holland: the Saint Elizabeth Flood, a deluge of biblical proportions that drowns hundreds of towns, thousands of people, and forever alters the geography of the Low Countries. Where the factions of the noble Hooks and the merchant Cods waged a literal class war but weeks before, there is now only a nigh-endless expanse of grey water, a desolate inland sea with moldering church spires jutting up like sunken tombstones. For a land already beleaguered by generations of civil war, a worse disaster could scarce be imagined. Yet even disaster can be profitable, for the right sort of individual, and into this flooded realm sail three conspirators: a deranged thug at the edge of madness, a ruthless conman on the cusp of fortune, and a half-feral girl balanced between them. With The Folly of the World, Jesse Bullington has woven an extraordinary new tale of the depraved and the desperate.
Art And Architecture In Medieval France by Whitney S. Stoddard Pdf
This is an English-language study on the architecture and art of medieval France of the Romanesque and Gothic periods between 1000-1500.

Illuminating the Border of French and Flemish Manuscripts, 1270–1310 by Lisa Moore Hunt Pdf
This study first examines the marginal repertoire in two well-known manuscripts, the Psalter of Guy de Dampierre and an Arthurian Romance, within their material and codicological contexts. This repertoire then provides a template for an extended study of the marginal motifs that appear in eighteen related manuscripts, which range from a Bible to illustrated versions of the encyclopedias of Vincent de Beauvais and Brunetto Latini. Considering the manuscript as a whole work of art, the marginalia’s physical relationship to nearby texts and images can shed light on the reception of these illuminated books by their medieval viewers.

French Furniture in the Middle Ages and Under Louis XIII (Classic Reprint) by Roger De Felice Pdf
Excerpt from French Furniture in the Middle Ages and Under Louis XIII A consecutive and complete history of French furniture - complete in that it should not leave out the furniture used by the lower middle classes, the artisans and the peasants - remains still to be written; and the four little books of this series are far from claiming to fill such a gap. And yet they will perhaps usefully fill their modest place by giving some hints and ideas, as accurate as possible even though very elementary and simple, to those who appreciate the excellent work wrought by old-time joiners out of walnut trees and cherry trees and oaks. The present passion for those plain pieces of furniture that six or eight generations of the folk of Lorraine, of Provence, of Gascony or Normandy have polished by use and filled with their humble treasures, has more legitimate foundations than the mere craze for running after a fashion and the astute advertising of dealers: they are practical, their solid strength is proof against the lapse of years - if we dared, we might say their soul is dovetailed to their frames - their material the "bon bois vif, sec loyal et marchand," spoken of in every article of the Statuts et ordonnances des maistres huchiers-menuisiers, is often most admirable.
